KingCast challenges Governor Patrick to his Oath of Transparency on the CORI/HERALD/Defamation case: Actually meet with Darrell Jones, Sir.

Six months ago I volunteered for Governor Patrick as President Obama came to the Westin. They both spoke of progressive government and transparency.

Six weeks ago Governor Patrick promised "a thorough investigation," into a blatant CORI violation and Defamation issued involving the DOC, Joanna Marinova, State Representative Fox, the Boston Herald and Channel 7. He said that his office/cabinet would "get to the bottom of this," and that "I don't want a prison system shrouded in secrecy."

Yet to this day date and time no one from Governor Patrick's administration or cabinet has ever met with Darrell Jones, the prisoner who has single-handedly done more for at-risk youth than anyone else in the entire State. We have the phone calls to prove it. Remember folks, all calls to and from inmates are maintained and recorded, for transparency's sake, of course.

Why did the Governor apparently ignore the Harshbarger investigation that held that the Department was not trustworthy in the least? How much did that investigation cost? Please consider this a public information request pursuant to MGL 66 § 10.

Your Excellency, many of us are, quite frankly, fed up. And you are about to see some things happen that you've never imagined because of it. You've left us nowhere else to go, and that's what I told Mr. Jones today when I visited him. I didn't need to develop any story when I visited, this blog post was already written. I just communicated it to Darrell, and there's no prohibition against that.More irony or coincidence: Yesterday I ran into Robin Hester, who claims that DOC arbitrarily barred her from a facility for something that allegedly happened months ago. She has visited several times since the alleged infraction. She was also there when State Rep Fox and Joanna Marinova were visiting and getting the rigmarole.
